    Tailgate band on sale USA 1

    I'd be more amazed if these were ACTUALLY in stock as USA claims.

    2003 2500HD

    Had to post pics of this - friend of mine I have known since kindergarten hit his head real hard and became enamored with me building a SB. He wanted something a tad newer so picked himself up a 2003 2500HD and decided to rebuild it completely. New cab corners, bed, frame blasted and painted, 5...

    Any AC gurus?

    I D/L'd this video awhile back for just such an emergency. Cars I retrofitted used a Sanden vs a York (driers were far different too).....used stuff like this to figure the new amount.

    Squarebody to GMT400 Chassis Swap

    Seen the swaps go the other way (especially with pullin' trucks) but not this way. I always figured there was enough SB frames still out there. This sounds kind of cool though if you can pull it off. Oh.....and welcome to our e-lodge. We like pics (and cake).

    Air Compressor Issue

    Well, it all works now - was a semi-dumbarse mistake involving an extension cord with 2 grounds instead of 2 hots. Also with about 60ft of sweated copper, I found 1 leak - easy fix (he said) tomorrow. Only thing I noticed is the pump (which you can rotate by hand real smooth) is very loud - and...

    Air Compressor Issue

    Have a 45 yr retired electrician friend coming over to double check everything I did. I'm pretty sure its all correct, but after this.....dunno. Need a second opinion. lol

    Air Compressor Issue

    Here's a pic of the pullys, the motor tag and the centrifugal switch that was broken that they updated. The unloader and check valves are both new - whether they are working properly...dunno.

    Air Compressor Issue

    Hoping this is what you are referring to. fwiw.....realized after the fact that the 30A breaker on the generator was tripped. At least I know why the motor stopped, but why it tripped it.....is another question.

    Air Compressor Issue

    I'll get some pics of both and post them shortly. THX The motor is getting juice but is dead as a door nail. Breaker never flipped (on the motor) either. Shop told me to bring it to them - going to drop it off tomorrow AM. This (1996) motor was made in MN. Had a disk on the tail end of the...

    Air Compressor Issue

    Ok....at the point of getting my compressor broke in and ready to paint my SB. I dont have 220 so was going to use my generator. 7500w/9500w surge - runs our 1400sqft house (AC, fridge, 3 freezers) with ease. I started the generator and let it run for about 10min. Then plugged in the...

    Getting inside the cowl

    So there wasn't much prep except to clean it out? I cant get my hands down inside there to sand or pry out the old seam sealer. Didnt know Permatex made an undercoating. I have some 3M but it would be a mess to work with there. It sealed ok?

    ‘83 ‘84 GMC Grille on eBay @Streetdreamer

    They keep going for those numbers and I will seriously talk to someone I know who does this....about re-popping them. These aftermarket bean counter companies are lunatics for dropping them. They wont sell as many but can sell them for 3-5x as much.

    Getting inside the cowl

    Seen alot of how-to's here with the idea of cleaning and sealing the inside leak-prone areas of the cowl. A pig in a poke with whatever sealer you use. So I'm about at that point and was wondering.....when someone says "open up the cowl" - exactly what are they referring to? Cutting the grill...

    Confusing info on tightening spindle lock nuts

    When I rebuilt mine, about 1 in 4 with videos were doing it wrong. I got the shop manual and from that, could tell which ones were doing it right. Same way with my transfer case. Both came out perfect. I'd find the OE shop manual and see what it says.

    700R4 Trans Cooling Lines options/recommendations?

    I got the stainless set from Inline. Mocked up - they seem to fit like the originals.

    R12 Replacement

    To answer your question, I know of many guys driving 40-50 yr old cars that use this in their old York compressors (where an updated compressor wont fit) and they like it lot. But if there was the means to update it to a Sanden compressor and go with R134, I'd certainly pursue that option every...

    Lift or rebuild stock?

    When I replaced my springs with a new stock height kit, it still lifted it about 2" (my guess from the originals being tired). I'm running the same tire size.

    AC duct behind glove box

    Part of it almost looks like a cable for a blend door.
